I'm on my way to buy one right now, far away since it's sunday today. What you don't have in your set or if you're unlucky you will have to make up for with time and money.
Seems every extractor available at Big box home stores gets overwhelmingly horrible reviews reporting that they break and don't work. I wonder if they are turning wrong way or using power drill??
FAIL! Did you notice that the screw he removed was broken off, not removed. Half of the screw is still in the hole! I can't believe anyone would publish this.
Good video.. I like to live life dangerously so I selected the drill bit size by eye and drilled into the screw head. The extractor was too small so I placed the next size up in my cordless drill, set to reverse and the screw was fully extracted.. this was not a mission critical situation. Just an old wooden batten attached to the wall at the top of a cellar head 😂
I am trying to DIY and outer tub replacement on an old washing machine. Well...I haven't gotten very far. The brackets outside the control panel have two philips screws. One came off fairly easily. The OTHER one?...FuhGETaboutit! A WD-40 type spray did NOT Good. Even if I can get that screw off, I still have to figure out the agitator head cover, and I'm Sure their will be other snafus down the road. If that DANG tub hadn't rusted, the machine would probably be good to go for another twenty years (it's almost forty years old already.)
Great video. A lot of good minor details in your commentary. One thing that might help for those who have never done it before… after you get your set of extractors home and opened up, take several minutes to “practice” before making an actual first attempt on one that is important to get extracted. This helped me a lot with trying different setups. 👍
Man you just are terrible you're acting terrible you're terrible you didn't do any broken screws you did strip screws they weren't even really stripped you're not showing anybody nothing thanks a lot for a whole bunch at nothing weirdo
I've seen people use these types of screw extractors incorrectly and then blame the product. If you took your time and used your brain instead of being impatient and blaming the tool.
@@bobwallett That's not accurate unfortunately, I mean the keywords "at all times" anyways, there is a such thing as reverse threads, and if people think it's lefty loosey "all the time" they'll be unpleasantly surprised!!
Anyone have a suggestion for a video that's a little more delicate. I have a screw on a IC board that I do not want to damage or crack. Most videos appear to be for heavy duty material.
you can try using valve compound in the fastener and on the screwdriver to get a better bite. if it has a decent size head you can also try grabbing it with a set of pliers that have aggressive tooth pattern.
I would try to solder something on top of the screw. Like another screw, or anything to get a hold on. And then use a screwdriver or pliers to unscrew it.
I got it part of the gearwrench set: www.amazon.com/dp/B000HBDW48/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_glt_i_MHXJM9MSK867JT2AX05E?linkCode=ml1&tag=httpdiyracom-20 Or you can buy it standalone with attachments amzn.to/34Qs83I
thanks for making this video. i got the rusted out torx screw i needed i extracted out. i didn't have the fancy t handle i used an adjustable wrench and went slow and it worked!
